Landfill sparks fear for future of stud farm

A WORLD famous Co Meath stud farm says it may be forced to shut down because a major landfill dump is coming to the locality.

Suma Stud at Beauparc, Navan, contains the largest single herd of Irish draught mares and is regarded as a top stud in the sport horse industry. It has 20 mares, three stallions, as well as younger horses and sport animals.

Stud spokesperson Marilyn Power said the future of the stud farm in its current location “remains to be seen”.
